Rajya Sabha member Dr Ashok Kumar Mittal is currently in Latvia as part of a distinguished multi-party parliamentary delegation from India. The visit is part of India’s ongoing diplomatic outreach under Operation Sindoor, which emphasises global solidarity against terrorism.

Dr Mittal stated, “Terrorism is a shared global threat and India is committed to working hand-in-hand with the international community to eliminate it. Latvia, as a strong democratic partner, plays a vital role in this dialogue, and I am honoured to contribute to this effort on behalf of India.”

This marks the first high-level Indian parliamentary visit to Latvia since India established its Resident Mission in Riga in July 2024, underscoring the deepening strategic partnership between the two nations.
